Stichting MDL Fonds supports Dutch scientific research and practical solutions to prevent, detect early, treat, and alleviate gastrointestinal diseases, with a strong emphasis on the esophagus, colon, Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, pancreatic/liver conditions, and the gut microbiome. Their funding clearly favors investigator-led medical research that can improve diagnosis, treatment, prevention, or quality of life for patients, especially projects with a direct path to care. They appear to work through an annual research call and fund university medical centers and named researchers in the Netherlands.
Annual research grant call with project-based funding for Dutch investigators and medical centers; likely competitive and science-driven, supporting specific studies rather than broad operating grants.
Monitor the annual MDL Fonds Research Grants call and apply with a clearly defined research question tied to prevention, early detection, treatment, or patient quality of life. Strong proposals should be clinically relevant, based in the Netherlands, and connected to GI disease areas the funder prioritizes; partnering with a university medical center will likely strengthen eligibility and credibility.
